CCalSession Class Reference

class CCalSession : public CBase

A handle to the calendar file.

When the client instantiates a CCalSession, it will connect to the calendar server. In turn, the client can use its APIs, for instance to create or open a calendar file.

The agenda data in the file can be accessed as entries. To access the entries, clients should use class CCalEntryView or CCalInstanceView to process the entry data. However, both view classes require the handle to the file which is represented by this class.

A calendar file can be opened on any writable drive. Note that if the file is opened on a removable media and that media is removed, operations will leave with KErrNotReady. This error can also happen when trying to access file attachments on removed media. When this error occurs, the user should close the CCalSession and re-open it once the media has been replaced. It is recommended that when using a calendar file on removable media, the user should watch for when the media is removed / replaced using the RFs::NotifyChange API.

The session object must not be destroyed until all the objects which where created by referencing it have been destroyed.

CalendarInfoL()

IMPORT_C CCalCalendarInfo *

)

const

Get calendar info on the currently open calendar file.

leave: KErrNotReady If there is no calendar file open on this CCalSession.

capability: ReadUserData

CollectionIdL()

IMPORT_C TCalCollectionId

CollectionIdL

(

)

const

Gets the Collection ID of the currently open Calendar file. Note that:

This ID should not be persisted because it is re-generated whenever the session is connected. This ID identifies the same Calendar file as the file ID retrieved form CCalSession::FileIdL(TCalFileId& aCalFileId)

leave: KErrNotReady If the calendar file is on a drive where the media has been removed.

capability: WriteUserData

It leaves if the file with the name specified already exists.

Parameters

const TDesC & aFileName

leave: KErrNotReady If the calendar file is on a drive where the media has been removed.

capability: WriteUserData

It leaves if the file with the name specified already exists.

Parameters

const TDesC & aFileName	The name of the file to create. This is a combination of drive letter and file name, in other words, DriveLetter:FileName, but not a full path.

IMPORT_C void	StartChangeNotification	(	MCalChangeCallBack2 &	aCallBack,
			const CCalChangeNotificationFilter &	aFilter
		)

Start notification of any changes to calendar entries. These changes can be filtered, and when a change occurs the MCalChangeCallBack2 callback function is called with details about the entry which has changed (TCalLocalUid and entry type) and the type of change (add/delete/modify).

capability: None

Parameters

			MCalChangeCallBack::TChangeEntryType	aChangeEntryType,
			TBool	aIncludeUndatedTodos,
			TTime	aFilterStartTime,
			TTime	aFilterEndTime
		)

Start notification of any changes to calendar entries. These changes can be filtered, and when a change occurs the MCalChangeCallBack callback function is called with the type of entry which has changed (event or todo).

capability: None

Parameters

MCalChangeCallBack * aCallBack	The class to notify when a change occurs.
MCalChangeCallBack::TChangeEntryType aChangeEntryType	Filter notifications to only notify on entries of the specified type (event/todo/all).
TBool aIncludeUndatedTodos	Filter notifications to include undated todos.

Start notification of changes to calendar files. When a change occurs, the MCalFileChangeObserver callback function is called with change types (see MCalFileChangeObserver::TChangeType) about the files.

capability: None

Parameters

MCalFileChangeObserver & aCallBack

The class to notify when a change occurs.

StopChangeNotification()

IMPORT_C void

StopChangeNotification

(

)

Stop entry notifications from this session.

capability: None

StopFileChangeNotification()

IMPORT_C void

capability: None

_DebugRequestAllocatedCellsL()

IMPORT_C TInt

_DebugRequestAllocatedCellsL

(

)

Gets the total number of cells allocated on the server-side heap. Debug only. Test

Pre-condition: There is an open calendar session.

Post-condition: None

_DebugRequestAllocatedHeapSizeL()

IMPORT_C TInt

_DebugRequestAllocatedHeapSizeL

(

)

_DebugSetHeapFailL(RAllocator::TAllocFail, TInt)

IMPORT_C void	_DebugSetHeapFailL	(	RAllocator::TAllocFail	aFail,
			TInt	aRate
		)

Simulates a heap allocation failure for the server-side heap. Debug only.

The failure occurs on subsequent calls to new or any of the functions which allocate memory from the server-side heap.

The timing of the allocation failure depends on the type of allocation failure requested, i.e. on the value of aFail.

The simulation of heap allocation failure is cancelled if aFail is given the value RAllocator::ENone.

Notes:

1. If the failure type is RAllocator::EFailNext, the next attempt to allocate from the server-side heap fails; however, no further failures will occur.

2. For failure types RAllocator::EFailNext and RAllocator::ENone, set aRate to 1.

Test

Pre-condition: There is an open calendar session.

Post-condition: The calendar server will fail memory allocation at the specified point.

Parameters

RAllocator::TAllocFail aFail	An enumeration which indicates how to simulate heap allocation failure.
TInt aRate	The rate of failure; when aType is RAllocator::EDeterministic, heap allocation fails every aRate attempt.

__dbgClearTzClientCacheL(TBool)

IMPORT_C void

__dbgClearTzClientCacheL

(

TBool

aRestartCaching

)

Clears timezone information cached at client side. This API should be used for debug purpose.

capability: None

Parameters

TBool aRestartCaching

Set to ETrue if caching needs to be restarted after clearing current cache.
